Uber CEO Travis Kalanick Loses His Sh*t, Yells At One Of His Drivers & Here's The Damning Video

When Travis Kalanick, the CEO of Uber took his own company’s cab, it escalated into something that the internet was not going to forget. Kalanick was travelling with two female friends in an Uber Black, the high-end service that the cab service company launched in 2010.

According to the dash-cam video, it can clearly be seen that the Uber driver, Fawzi Kamel, and Kalanick got into a heated argument over the falling fares. In the video, one of his companions is faintly heard to have said that she heard that Uber is having a hard year. To which Kalanick replied, “I make sure every year is a hard year.” He continued, “That’s kind of how I roll. I make sure every year is a hard year. If it’s easy I’m not pushing hard enough.”

At the end of the journey, when the driver also tried to bring up his complaint over Uber’s wages to Kalanick, he replied rather angrily, “Some people don’t like to take responsibility for their own sh*t.”

However, it has been reported that Kalanick later wrote an email to the whole staff after the video went viral. In an effort to apologise to Kamel for his behaviour, Kalanick wrote, “To say that I am ashamed is an extreme understatement. My job as your leader is to lead…and that starts with behaving in a way that makes us all proud. That is not what I did, and it cannot be explained away. It’s clear this video is a reflection of me—and the criticism we’ve received is a stark reminder that I must fundamentally change as a leader and grow up. This is the first time I’ve been willing to admit that I need leadership help and I intend to get it.”
